You have Debian Project and its CDD [1] addressing custom cases like DE [2]
which targets the enterprise in a Debian way. They work wholly within the
aegis of the Debian Social Contract.
On the other hand you have redhat.com (RHEL), suse.com (SLES)...
whatever.com.
You can not expect these things to be (or behave) the same way from user's
point of view. Thanks God one could choose to go for his favorite Maker
(organization or company) and its Product.
Now, what do you want to change in this Universe ? Let me guess: ... it is not
a DD or RH or SuSE development teams' fault if you are unreachible because of
choosing not broken-minded (in your eyes) gate to the internet.

Wait a sec... DJB's source code is also an example of howto-not-code-in-c used
by some university teachers in their code demonstrations to the classes. Your
comparation is inrelevant here.
